Verknipt Croatia wraps second edition with five-day hard dance festival on Zrce Beach

Verknipt Croatia | Holiday Festival has concluded its second edition, delivering five days of electronic music across eight venues from June 29 to July 3, 2025.

Hosted on Croatia’s Zrce Beach, the event featured over 50 artists, six pool parties and five boat raves in a setting designed to merge summer leisure with high-energy hard dance.

The festival returned with an expanded layout and enhanced production, drawing international crowds for a line-up that included established names such as Alignment, Basswell, Shlømo and 6EJOU as well as emerging acts like Adrián Mills, Cloudy and Kuko.

Programming spanned from late-night club events to open-air daytime activities, creating a continuous flow of music and social experiences.

Says Mer Hajbarati, founder and co-owner of Verknipt, “The Verknipt community showed up bigger and louder than ever this year,” said Mer Hajbarati, founder and co-owner of Verknipt. “What makes Verknipt Croatia so special is that it’s more than just a music festival. It’s a five-day journey where strangers become friends, and everyone gets to be part of something truly electric. Seeing the crowd connect on that level - surrounded by sunshine and sound - was incredibly powerful.”

As Verknipt expands its brand globally, the Croatia edition continues to position itself as a key destination for fans of hard techno. Beyond music, the event emphasises a holiday-style atmosphere with beachfront games, wellness areas and flexible accommodation packages.
